Introduction

Pelops has been created to make working with Cassandra a beautiful thing (hence the nickname "Cassandra's beautiful son").
Using Pelops developers can quickly access the full power of Cassandra while writing clean, self-documenting code that
makes the underlying semantics clear to reviewers. Without compromising power, Pelops has been designed to improve
productivity and code quality while greatly reducing the learning curve for new users. In fact, these objectives go
hand in hand.

A note on dependencies

Pelops requires the following dependencies at runtime. These dependencies are included as transitive dependencies without any extra work from you.

org.slf4j:slf4j-api - version: 1.5.11

com.eaio.uuid:uuid - version: 3.2

org.scale7:scale7-core -version: 1.3

org.apache.cassandra:cassandra-thrift - version: 1.1.0

commons-pool:commons-pool - version: 1.6

Pelops also includes the following optional dependencies that are not required or included unless you explicitly want/need them. The classes and methods that require these optional dependencies are clearly Javadoc'ed so you shouldn't have any trouble figuring out when to include them.
